Olive oil is good for so much more than making salad dressing and cooking your favorite vegetables or cuts of meat. The same characteristics that make olive oil one of the healthiest oils to consume make it exceptionally good for nurturing your precious kinks, coils and curls to ultimate hair health.

Olives are the fruit of the olive tree which was originally found in the Mediterranean thousands of years ago. According to Wikipedia, the tree was cultivated and grown around the globe throughout history and has been used by citizens of notable ancient civilizations like ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece. The use of olive oil is even recorded in the Bible.

Those of us with this unique hair texture need a shampoo that cleanses our hair of gels, butters, oils and any other product we use to create our magnificent hair styles while leaving just enough oil deposited on our hair to keep it from feeling the way scorched grass looks at the height of a summer heat wave.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Fortifying Shampoo comes very close to being the solution for every type 4 natural’s shampoo dilemma. The product is designed for dry and damaged hair and claims to provide “stronger, smoother, healthier hair” as a result of the three nourishing oils it contains (hence the name triple nutrition).

In
a perfect world we would be able to buy the hair products that work best for
our hair at the nearest store for less than what it takes to feed a family of
four. Finding all natural, organic, natural hair products can be a difficult
task.The hard truth is that natural hair care products are given half a shelf of space
or less in many retail stores and that many of the best products start at $10.
